The next morning, Allison left for an overseas conference,

When Ella called, Stephanie couldn’t help but smirk. “Tell your cousin to say fat for a lot longer Alton’s gone Shell out of town for about a month

Stephanie laughed, “Actually, she called about Olivia.”

Ella was intrigued. “Olivia? What happened to her?”

Turns out, it was because she was seriously sick.

Stephanie recalled what Allison told her yesterday. “Uterine cancer, heart disease, and I think liver cancer too.”
